Who is affecting who? My face looks pretty strange here, especially considering that we were really in a goofy mood on the back row of a class time. Two of my former students joined us for the day & we laughed & compared our body art while others led the teaching time.
As you other teachers out there know, we learn more than we teach sometimes. This new generation is so inspiring in the beautiful & fun freedom they have! I know that I am making a positive difference in their lives, but at the same time they are also nudging me towards having more fun & turning off the "I'm too old" talk! That's why I love being around them so much!
My friends have laughed when I tell them that I feel like I am "finding" myself at this glorious age of 51. I've thrown off a lot of labels and thoughts about life and feel a lot more freedom...kind of like my college days. I think it's good to not always surround ourselves with others so like us...opening ourselves up to be challenged in our "old" thoughts is very good. :o)
